    Blonde hair has many nuances. For proof, look no further than Gigi Hadid who has been low-key changing up her hair color since she burst onto the scene in 2014. From the bright golden blonde indicative of her Californian roots to the edgy nude dye job she sported at the Met Gala, here's every stage of Hadid's personal blonde ambition tour.

    1.Golden Blonde, 2014

    Hadid's most peroxide-happy iteration of blonde, she complemented her rosy glow with ultra-fine, mega-watt highlights with golden undertones. 

    2.Beach-y Balayage, 2015

    The supermodel eventually went for a rootier, more dimensional look with a mix of chunky, hand-painted bright highlights and lowlights meant to mimic her natural color.
